Wontel - Before I Chose You lyrics

[Intro: Parade] Deliver us from the shadows of the ungodly Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom March, march, march along to redemption song Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom [Verse 1: Eshon Burgundy] I rise in the morning hit my knees and take it up one time There was a time in my life when they had me stuck one time The lead still in me from when they came to light me up one time No ambulances in sight patrol officers write me up one time Look at my momma I say momma I am gonna die She look back at me and said no baby now that's a lie Right after that i swear i heard a voice come from the sky Sound like the voice of God and He said you're not gonna die This won't be the day you go into the ground I got angels all around you here to hold you down Heard you cry out from heaven I can hear the sound You may not see me but believe me I'm always around [Hook: Eshon Burgundy] You chose me before I chose you I don't know much but I know you I said in paradise please remember me Then you spared me and delivered me Oh, was it because I believed Cause I don't know what I believe But i know eternity's inside you And I cannot deny you [Verse 2: Eshon Burgundy] Yo, when I was younger I almost went out with a bang Before I was born I know that Lord you knew my name Destined for love, predestined for war and pain Present to one day make the confession we are redeemed Gave you my life not for the blessing in exchange But the profession of love for me that you made For the Father you hung between two thieves on center stage After three days you were raised and called for the release of all the slaves Especially for the guilty ones like myself The healing has begun for the filthy ones can't you tell We was to die for, He took the nails and made the cell, His rot And against it the gates of hell shall not prevail Of victim of 8 shells, three went in, five fell People prayed and I was almost layed to rest but I was saved Pa**ed over the smell of fear I no longer know that aroma All I know is if we believe his mercy lie upon us I'm free [Hook] You chose me before I chose you I don't know much but I know you I said in paradise please remeber me Then You spared me and delivered me Was it because I believed Please help my unbelief And I know eternity's inside you I cannot deny You [Verse 3] As a youngin I watched you answer my mother's prayers It built my faith cause other people said you wasn't there Their sky dwellers a watch my sky dweller's my pops False idols, jealousy alive and they can't tell us he not Live by a code royalty in the robe Diplomacy and blood, currency we are exposed Lion and the lamb obediently died and rose Significant to me because I was one of his foes Broad daylight when the reaper came for my soul Eager to get me ether either that or see me fold He don't know refining fires required to see the gold And putting pressure on me only make me a testimony told For my homies from Philly to State road Wrongfully accused or rightly in the hole You can be forgiven if you repent and believe Even most civilians don't know the feeling of being free Indeed [Outro: Parade] Separated from the greatest you already know separated for the greatest you already know Separated for the greatest you already know (You already know) Separated for the greatest you already know Separated for the greatest you already know Separated for the greatest you already know (You already know) Separated yeah [Hook: Eshon Burgundy] You chose me before I chose you I don't know much but I know you I said in paradise please remeber me Then You spared me and delivered me Was it because I believed Please help my unbelief And I know eternity's inside you I cannot deny You
